Hi All, I have a problem with the below code, the entity which appears inside attribute value gets position changed while using xml::dom parser. See the below example and suggest.

use XML::DOM; my $parser = new XML::DOM::Parser(ErrorContext => 1); $text='put any xml text here'; my $doc; if (! defined(eval {$doc = $parser->parse($text)})) { my $errs = $@; die("Did not parse: $errs\n"); } $doc->normalize(); print $doc->toString;

it's my input line

i am getting the below output. the entity which appears inside the attribute automatically placed before the element.
</ref>&ndash;<see-also seeref="ProthrowStith">
